A genuine case of leprosy has been dis
covered in this city, and is attracting much
attention among physicians. The patient
is John Hastings, 30 years Of age, and re-
siding with his parents. He visited the
Sandwich Islands three years ago, and con-
tracted the disease at Honolulu. His
parents did not know the terrible nature
of his ailment until Sunday last. The IN
fortunate man is covered with eruptions
peculiar to lepers. He has been treating
himself for two years, supposing 1t to be
blood disease, but has been getting worse
right along. His parents have called in
two of the best physicians in the city, who
have the case in hand.

ONE HUNDRED HOURS ACROSS
AMERICA.

New York advices of April oath speak
of the completion of arrangements for
running fast trans-continental train of
cars to connect with the Japan and
China steamers at San Francisco. Geo.
W. Pullman has organized the service
from New York to the Pacific in 100
hours. This is the result of a suggestion
two years ago by Charles Francis Adams,
President of the Union Pacific Com
pany.
Adams suggested that the establish
ment of a great transcontinental train,
to be known as the ''Asiatic Limited, I"
should supply the American link in "a
through line from Europe to Asia He
proposed to sell coupon tickets in Paris
and London for Toxic, Yokohama,
Hongkong and Canton. Passengers
viii be obliged to make only two changes
of conveyance between Liverpool or
Havre and their Asiatic destination.
Pullman has fulfilled his part of the bar
gain, and the plan in full is about to be
carried out. Passengers before leaving
Europe will have staterooms and sleep
ing CIR sections assigned for the entire
trip.
A transatlantic steamer will land the
traveller on the Jersey City wharf within
ten yards Of the train, which will take
him in just 100 hours to the gang-plank
of Pacific Mail steamship in San Fran
cisco, and his journey will be continued
to his destination. The stops in Jersey
City and San Francisco will be as brief
as the rapid handling of baggage and
mails can make them. The trip from
London to Yokohama or Canton can
thus be made inside of one month. 1t
has not been decided whether the
"Asiatic Limited will run weekly or
fortnightly. Adams says that within a
few months it will be in operation and
moving as smoothly as the arrangements
for an ordinary journey of one-tenth the
distance.

NEWS BY THE AUSTRALIA.

The relations between France and
Germany are becoming more strained
daily, and a very slight provocation
would precipitate war. In fact, on both
sides the frontier vigilance could not be
exceeded were war declared. An incl
dent has occurred, however, which may
lead to war, although facts as they ha We
developed would seem to suggest that it
was plot on one side or other to en-
barrass the central authorities an d force
their hands. M. Schnaebeles, ms pector
of Police at the railway station of Pagny-
sur Moselle, near the frontier of Alsace-
Lorraine, was arrested by German Off
GERS and carried off to Metz, where he is
now incarcerated.
This took place April Goth. 1t APP
pears that he received a letter from Herr
Mutsch, Police Inspector at Ars-sur-
Moselle; on the German side of the
border, and against the advice of his
wife, to whom he showed it, met the
The letter is as follows:
My Dear Colleague: have commun-
ication to make to you which concerns
neither the German nor the French Gov
ernments, but in order to make this COM
munication to you we should be alone, and
if you are willing we will take advantage
of the question of the frontier post to have
the meeting.
(Signed): GAUTsCH.
NJ. Schnaebeles was on foot. When
he appeared at the frontier two gems
darmes, in white blouses, threw them
selves upon him, and after a severe
struggle dragged him to the ground and
placed handouts upon him. He was
taken to Neveant and thence to Metz,
where he was incarcerated. Herr
Mautsch did not appear.
1t will be seen from our news sum-
mary that Prince Bismarck is annoyed
at this incident, and has given assur-
ances to the French Minister on the sub
iect. The French claim that the arrest
was made on French soil, while the
Germans allege that NJ. Schnaebeles has
been Swallowed for some time, and is &C
cused of endeavoring to induce German
soldiers to desert. An investigation is
proceeding at Metz, but the French are
not allowed to participate in it, and they
declare that this was trap on the part
of the Germans to create casus belli.
The situation is so grave that the Pope
has offered to mediate. Appearances are
decidedly against the German officials,
although their explanation may be cor
rect. Nevertheless the letter from Herr
Gautsch, his failure to appear, and the
presence instead of gendarmes who made
the arrest with violence, are strong
points in M. Schnaebeles' favor Should
war between two great powers result
from this incident it will be strange
commentary upon the wisdom of govern
ment.
There is no disquieting news from any
other part of Europe.

His honor impressed upon the minds of
the lawyers the fact hat procrastination

THE CONCERT.
A Matchless Array of Talent For To-
Morrow N ght.

In heralding the advent of the Campo
mini Concert company very little has been
said of the great artist who manages this
unrivalled combination of stars. Ten
years ago he was recognized as the lead
ing tenor Of the world. While time has
not improved his personal appearance, the
magnificent voice which filled his Golfers
with gold and placed him at the head of
his artistic class still remains, stronger,
sweeter, more resonant and better cult
waited.
Like their leader, the remaining mem
bers of this great combination have ap
peared and won applause in the critical
European musical centers.

Queen Patti herself. Contralto Scalchi
